"Manifestation Of Lord Visnu" Introduction: 10-3-(1-5) S'ri S'uka said: 'Then there the supremely auspicious hour that, with the constellation of Rohini rising, was endowed with all qualities. All the stars and planets stood in a favorable position. There was peace all around, all the stars twinkled in the sky and the cities, towns, pasturing grounds and mines were at their best. With the rivers crystal clear and the lakes beautiful with lotuses, with the flocks of birds and the swarms of bees sweetly singing their praise in the blooming forests, the breezes fragrant and free from dust blew with a gentle touch while the fires of the brahmins burned steadily and undisturbed. The minds of the virtuous ones who were oppressed by the Asura [Kamsa and his men], cleared up when in that situation the kettledrums resounded together to celebrate the birth of the Unborn One. (6) The Kinnaras and Gandharvas [the excellent ones and the singers of heaven] sang, the Siddhas and Cåranas [the perfected ones and the demigods] offered prayers and the Vidyådhara women [the wives of the scientists] danced in great jubilation together with the Apsaras [the dancing girls of heaven]. (7-8) The sages and the demigods joyously showered the finest flowers and the clouds rumbled silently like the ocean waves when at the darkest hour of the night Janårdana, the World's Well-wisher, appeared
from the divine form of Devaki. Lord Vishnu, the One residing in the heart of everyone manifested Himself in full, like the full moon rising in the east. 01 (9-10) That wonderful child with His lotus-like eyes and His four arms that held different weapons [and other attributes likel a conch, a club and so on, was decorated with the S'rivatsa mark, with the shining Kaustubha jewel around His neck, with yellow garments and with a beautiful hue like that of rain clouds. Vasudeva saw Him beautifully decorated sparkling with a with vaidU1rya (tiger's eye) studded helmet, with rings in His ears, with luxuriant scattered locks of hair, with an exquisite belt around His waist and with armlets and bracelets on His arms.
(11) Änakadundubhi was amazed to see the beautiful appearance of the Lord as his son. Overwhelmed by great jubilation he lost himself in dreams of holding a festival to the occasion of the descent of Krishna, a festivity where he would donate ten thousand cows to the brahmins. a-ra—-a.fi: 1 3A- to place down, to be attentive, to apply in mind; (12) Oh son of Bharata, understanding that the child definitely was the Original Personality, he lost all his fears. Having arrived at that conclusion he enraptured by His majesty fell down with folded hands to offer prayers to the child that illumined His birth place in every direction.
